One wonders what qualified this sudser to be included in the National Film Registry! -- Zoe

I've wondered that about a few of their selections, actually. e.g. I found The Bank Dick singularly unfunny, though I'm guessing it must have been revolutionary in some way or another--or maybe it was just in honor of W. C. Fields the icon, the way people sometimes get Oscars for later, inferior work. --KQ

According to the National Film Registry's website, a film must be "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." {shrug} -- Zoe

All That Heaven Allows is the funniest movie ever made. I have never laughed so much. It deserves its place on the registry. Cop 633 17:49, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My 101 class, if you're reading this talk page - the comments above should also be evidence that wikipedia isn't an appropriate level for you any more. :-)

the value of this film

Yes, there are ludicrous aspects, most-notably the pairing of Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman. (We should be grateful that the Production Code didn't permit sex scenes.) Nevertheless, this film is about something, and if all you see is a slightly silly sudser, you are missing the central point.

All That Heaven Allows is an attack on American striving after wealth and status, and the replacement of human relationships with material objects. The film's emotional turning point occurs when Roy takes Cary to a party of his lower-middle-class friends, and Cary recognizes what she's missing in life. There is a later scene where Cary's children give her a TV, suggesting that watching TV will fill up some of her loneliness.

Whether or not you like this film does not change the fact that it is a significant and still-meaningful commentary on American life and values. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 16:19, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki Admins as general rule deprecate polemics,"Wikipedia is NOT a forum" they boast and I yield to their strict decree,but I guess Douglas Sirk don't need sex scenes to highlight this unique love. I just ask why Cary's son and daughter are defined children when they are clearly teen agers..:)--Kiko 64 (talk) 17:10, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Name

I came across a line in a poem that reminded me of this title. "Is this all the Heaven allows?" is the line, in a poem called called The Mistress of Vision by Francis Thompson. Don't know if that's the original use or was inspired by something else. Text of poem here. --Ryan Paddy (talk) 19:39, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How interesting. I guess we can't include it unless we can find a reliable source proving the connection, but it's an interesting idea, and the whole poem is reminiscent of the film. Cop 663 (talk) 19:47, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why German band Juli?

User:Elowa inserted a picture of modern German band Juli. I don't see the connection to this film. Can anyone clear that up?--176.199.18.119 (talk) 08:00, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
